Science Behind Bars: Reaching Inmates from Rikers Island

ORAL

Abstract

I report on the project "Science Behind Bars: Reaching Inmates on Rikers Island" partially funded through an APS \textit{Public Outreach and Informing the Public} grant. This project involves developing leave-behind materials and setting up meetings to speak with Rikers Island inmates about science, evidence-based reasoning, and the dangers of stereotype threat.
